Azaleas are now out in Japan. They’re everywhere and wisteria too.
We’ve been to the local heated pool here, heated by the
waste burning facility next door. The
pools have lots of massage jets and there’s a water slide for toddlers and a
round pool with a flowing current. Eddie & Charlie enjoy swimming there. They serve traditional food there too, which
was great quality.
This weekend we enjoyed the Shinkansen (Bullet train)
festival. We had a day full of public
transport to give Eddie a big day out.
We caught the bus into the main Niigata station then caught another
train to see the bullet trains.
We’ve been to see the local wetlands centre at Sakata. It attracts
thousands of swans in November so hopefully we’ll see them before we leave. We
enjoyed a walk along the boardwalk and saw some huge tadpoles.
Eddie has started preschool two days a week at an
international English speaking school. It was opened only in September by a man
from Mudgee and his Japanese wife who’ve worked with children for many years in
Tokyo. www.cubbyhouseenglish.com
